It is just common sense that when an option argument is optional, you cannot separate it from the option itself by any whitespace because then the parsing cannot decide whether the thing is the optional option argument or simply another plain argument. > the correct form is for example '-d=pages'. Another correct form is '-dpages'. For the short forms of the options the '=' is not required.
